I'm not familiar with the history of Xapian upstream or OpenBSD packaging, but I'm guessing the main reason for the lack of "adherence" here is that the package is being built together with the other language bindings from the Xapian tarball (as opposed to, say, CPAN): https://github.com/openbsd/ports/blob/master/databases/xapian-bindings/Makefile Tangentially related: I've taken this opportunity to review my (OpenBSD) install script and found one other package I needed to install that isn't mentioned in INSTALL, namely, p5-IO-Socket-SSL. I didn't report it or give it too much thought at the time, as I was under the impression that the INSTALL file wasn't quite up-to-date or definitive, anyway (that impression being corroborated by my previous experience installing public-inbox on Arch Linux: IIRC there were some dependency surprises there, too, unfortunately I didn't keep any notes then), but seeing you touching these parts now I figured I'd mention it. -- Štěpán
